Christina Zurhausen

Christina Zurhausen is a German guitarist and composer working between contemporary jazz, free improvisation, experimental rock and other collective formats. Her guitar practice combines amplified sound and effects with a flexible approach to groove, musical structure and open interaction, moving between composed material and freer ensemble playing.

She performs with the trio Der Vierte Zustand alongside vocalist Hanna Schörken and drummer Ramon Keck. The group brings together free jazz, noise rock and spontaneous sound, alternating energy with more delicate and abstract material. Zurhausen has also collaborated with pianist and composer Frank Wunsch and vocalist Emese Mühl, including the trio album Time for Blue, released in 2022.
